Also, a day after the incident, a police team visited the constable’s, home town in Haryana and recorded his family’s statements. During the interaction, the police came to know that the woman lived a few kilometers away from his house.

Following this, they met the woman and recorded her statement. The woman claimed that she kept in touch with Singh regularly because “he was like a family member”.

The GRP also found that Singh had called two of his elder sisters around 45 times in the afternoon and had spoken to his fiancé around an hour before shooting himself.

The constable’s phone is currently with the Kalina Forensic Science Laboratory as the police want to check his messages to gauge his state of mind before he committed suicide.

Speaking about the incident, a GRP official said, “Singh reached office at 9.30pm on Saturday. He wore his uniform and carried his service rifle with him. He looked a little upset. Later, he shot two rounds in his chest with the rifle. We rushed him to a hospital but he was declared dead.”
